Jolie Jewel
Jolie Jewel is a 7-year-old horse that has spent the better part of two years chasing a second win, with the most recent one coming at Thurles back in November 2025 — a full 10 months ago now. In 23 races across that career, the horse has found the winners' circle just twice, a win rate of roughly 1 in every 11 starts, and has picked up 12 places to show it remains competitive at the level it races. That November victory at Thurles represents a distant high point; since then, Jolie Jewel has run six times without breaking through, though the recent form reads 2-3-6-2-3, which shows at least two second-place finishes in that spell to suggest the horse still has moments where it runs well.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse is trained by Brian M McMahon at Scarriff in County Galway, a yard that has sent out 4 winners this season and keeps Jolie Jewel in active racing — it raced just a day ago. The partnership with jockey Phillip Enright has produced one win from nine rides together, a rate of 11%, fractionally better than the horse's overall average but hardly a combination that has clicked consistently. Jolie Jewel's first win came at Cork on 11 May 2024, and that second success at Thurles proved it could win at different tracks, yet the current form suggests those victories remain rare bright spots in what has largely been a career of honest effort without much reward. For a horse this age still in regular work, that tells its own story: Jolie Jewel is a genuine racehorse that competes week after week, but one that tends to finish near the money rather than in the winner's circle.
